00:03Le Show saw, more properly I'm told, the Showings prepare to kick off at Parkhead in the second leg of
00:11this InterCity's first cup match against Celtic.
00:13Both sides tied 1-1 from the first game in Portugal, which ended with only 19 players in the park,
00:19we may remember.
00:21The Celtic side, much as expected, Fallon Young and Gemmel, Clark, Cusley and Kennedy, Johnson, Murdoch, Chambers, Gallagher and Lennox.
00:30Le Chosses, I think we'll call them, attacking the goal on the right, or rather on the left as you
00:36look at it.
00:38Rosés, Giraldo and Raúl, Pereira, Morera and Marsal, Estevez, Wagner, Cambrai, Ventura and Duarte.
00:49Straight away it's a free kick for Celtic.
00:53The Portuguese side are wearing what one might describe as a very old-fashioned Sunderland strip, very broad red and
00:58white.
01:00Stripes.
01:01Quipped into goal there, hooked a way out towards Lennox, Lennox heads it down, and it's nicely broken up there,
01:08the numbers in the Portuguese strip don't show up at all well, I'm afraid this is going to make things
01:12rather difficult for us here.
01:13But that's inside right, Wagner.
01:17The through ball going towards Chambers. Looks as if Chambers might have been offside had it gone through. Celtic straight
01:22in right away, out towards Johnson.
01:25And that may be a corner unless a spectacular clearance. Throw in. That was right there, Pereira.
01:37Well, Celtic will certainly be intent in piling on the goals here. It's a nice ball by Young through to
01:42Johnson. Johnson, a good one across the face of the goal. Headed away.
01:45Clark.
01:49Clark.
01:50That was centre-forward, Cambry there. Wagner.
01:56Right-half Pereira. Cushley's there. Throw in to Le Showings.
02:12Back you go, says referee Crawford, the English referee for tonight's game. Pereira. Cushley first to the ball, downfield. Headed
02:21away by Moreira.
02:26Right-half John Clarke. Four of the Celtic side in the 22 for the World Cup pool against Finland. Fallon,
02:35Kennedy, Johnson and Chambers.
02:38And, of course, if McNeil were fit, he would almost certainly make a fifth. Right-back Geraldo, back to his
02:43keeper, Rosas.
02:48Ground very heavy, which should certainly be to Celtic's advantage.
02:54Gemmell. Oh, badly misjudged. Chambers. Chambers pushes the ball towards Lennox. I think it's about far. No, Lennox does well
03:02to turn it back. Very well indeed.
03:06But just couldn't get much direction on it. He did extremely well to keep the ball in there.
03:10Gemmell, Cushley covering his left-back. All the way back to goalkeeper, Fallon.
03:20Clarke.
03:20Clarke.
03:23Gallagher.
03:25Murdoch.
03:27Murdoch.
03:27Murdoch to Johnson.
03:29Johnsonova runs the ball.
03:30Well tackled.
03:32And Pereira, who's really more of a centre-half up to now than anything else.
03:35Good throw taken quickly to Murdoch.
03:37Murdoch turns it across low, blocked.
03:41Pereira.
03:42Wagner.
03:47Clarke.
03:49Johnson.
03:50Johnson nicely to Murdoch.
03:52Murdoch across goal.
03:53Headed away.
03:54And turned just beyond Gemmell as Gemmell comes tearing in to help his forwards there.
04:00And away come Lycius.
04:05And it's Portuguese throw.
04:15And it's Geraldo to take it.
04:18Flicked on into the centre but no one with Cushley.
04:23Not cleared very well though.
04:27Young heads it away to Johnson.
04:31Johnson rather fortunately gets it back and makes a bit of a mess of it.
04:37Duarte, left winger.
04:40Good tackle.
04:40Good tackle by Young.
04:48Pereira.
04:49To Estevez.
04:55Throw to Lechos.
05:06Gallagher right on the centre spot.
05:08Tipping the ball through towards Chambers.
05:11Chambers leaves it for Lennox.
05:12Lennox is cutting in, gets a break of the ball.
05:15And in the event it just twists away from him.
05:18Gallagher turns the ball across goal.
05:20Missed.
05:21Murdoch there.
05:22Murdoch far too obvious with the pass.
05:31Good run by Cambrai but crowded out.
05:35Almost a quarter of an hour gone so far.
05:37The first goal has eluded Celtic.
05:40Although they've done much the bulk of the attacking.
05:42Johnson.
05:45Nice piece of footwork by Johnson going outside.
05:47Now a good cross.
05:49The far post, that is a good cross.
05:50And it's there.
05:52A well taken goal.
05:55A lovely run by Johnson.
05:59A very fine cross indeed.
06:02And Steve Chambers there.
06:04To head the ball beyond the goalkeeper.
06:07And put Celtic ahead and aggregate by two goals to one.
06:11Now if Johnson was able to cross with this accuracy.
06:14Allied to his undoubted skill.
06:17What a winger he would be.
06:19The whole defence going the wrong way there.
06:21Caught them wrong footed.
06:23And Chambers very cleverly just floated it over the keeper's head.
06:26One goal to nil.
06:27Thoroughly deserved.
06:30That's Duarte over on the left wing.
06:32On the right wing rather.
06:34Poor pass.
06:35friend.
06:44Well Fallon apart from the pass-back hasn't handled the ball yet.
06:47Well Fallon apart from the pass-back hasn't handled the ball yet.
06:54Estevez.
06:56Much, much too close.
06:59Pereira.
07:02Wagner.
07:03here. Estevez. Cushley turns the ball well. But no one in the centre. Pereira, that's
07:17a good ball. And that's Moreira, right up with the forwards. And a first time shot,
07:27but not much pith in it. Taken very easily by Fallon. Heading away, Clarke up again.
07:35Pushing it till Gallagher. Gallagher's outside left, but he limps heavily as he kicked out
07:40there. That's a good shot from left back Gimmel. And Celtic's third corner of the evening. Gallagher's
07:49going to take it. He's going to take it left-footed. This should be a fair test of where his
07:58leg
07:58is. It's not a bad corner at all. Headed in and just clears the bar. Off goes Celtic then
08:05at the start of the second half at Parkhead here tonight. Leading one goal to nil when they
08:10should have been four or five goals up. The Portuguese side, Leshoings, although we've agreed to call
08:18from Leshoings, is an anglicisation of the name, have really contributed very little to
08:22the first half, except some vintage pushing and pulling. And it's perhaps a condemnation
08:27of Celtic that they're only a goal up. And it could so easily have been more. The goal
08:31itself was a good one. Scored inevitably almost by Chambers. But a one-goal lead is nothing
08:36much of a margin. Anything can happen in defence. Here come Leshoes. And a free kick.
08:51Pens. Duarte's going to take it. Wearing a number 11 jersey, but he's played outside right
09:05for all but the first five minutes. In it goes. Pushed back to Duarte. Oh, not a bad shot.
09:11It was going wide, but Fallon wasn't to know that. They smothered it confidently.
09:19Leshoes making the mistake of giving Johnson plenty of room. Clarke. Clarke going round,
09:26losing a lot of ground by going back in his tracks almost. Geraldo in towards Lennox. Chance
09:31for Lennox. Ball saved. Well stopped keeper. Rose Ash let the ball squirm away, but flopped
09:37on it quickly again. Not a bad shot by Lennox, first time.
09:47Cushley. Cleared and spins to the wing. Portuguese ball. Up comes Pereira to take it. And he might
10:01well have saved himself the trouble. John Clarke. Bobby Murdoch running down the wing. Murdoch
10:09deflects it. Nice line to Johnson's path. Johnson. He can go outside. He's got a good chance
10:15here. And he turns it across very well.
10:27Cushley. Celtic deciding to attack, which is a much more sensible thing to do. And here's
10:31a chance for Murdoch. Murdoch going through. Murdoch coming in. Across goal pushed out. That's
10:37a penalty kick. That is certainly a penalty kick. And a foolish one. And we'll get the usual
10:44pushing, shoving and jostling. But no earthly question at all. Jammers brought down in the
10:52penalty area. And all the protesting in the world will not alter the fact that that's a penalty
10:57kick.
11:04The referee calling for the Portuguese interpreter, I think. There could be no question at all
11:13of the validity of Mr. Crawford's award there. Very foolish penalty, because I don't think
11:18Chambers could have got a foot to the ball. The Portuguese don't like that one little bit,
11:26but a perfectly fair decision.
11:39The referee not to be moved. And this can only end in somebody being sent off. The captain
11:48trying to calm things down. This, of course, not making it any easier for the person who
11:55will have to take the kick. Probably be Murdoch himself, I think.
12:06Get another one of these distasteful scenes, which it looks as if European Cup football
12:12finds it difficult to do without.
12:25Referee insisting that the penalty kick must be taken.
12:33Well, after the crowd scenes, penalty kick to Celtic at this.
12:3717 minutes of the second half gone. Murdoch to make it 2-0. No! What a miss! What a badly
12:43taken penalty!
12:45Down towards Duarte. Lennox.
12:51Lennox gets the ball through. Chalmers, for once, has got a yard or so much to work.
12:56Comes inside. Chance for Chalmers.
12:58Beautiful ball!
12:59Two goals to nil.
13:02The ball, I think, swerved in flight. It was fairly straight at the keeper.
13:06Chalmers has scored this on second.
13:09And Celtic's second goal with about eight or nine minutes to go.
13:13And this Celtic side looks through at last, having made extremely heavy weather
13:19against a football side which has had absolutely nothing to offer
13:23except to the connoisseurs of pushing, body checking, and jersey pulling.
13:29It's a condemnation of Celtic that they've taken so long to beat this really,
13:34well, mediocre is almost too complimentary a word for the Portuguese side.
13:38Well taken individual goal. The chant of easy goes up. It's amazing how difficult it's been.
13:44Well taken goal by Steve Chalmers.
13:51Free kick this time to Leicius.
14:00A ball right through to Fallon now.
14:05And away comes Celtic.
14:08Up to Chalmers, that's a sensible thing to do. Chalmers is the beating of the centre half.
14:12And he comes.
14:14I would think that might well be a penalty. No, no.
14:20What's he giving?
14:22Has he in fact given another penalty? It was well inside the area.
14:25Yes, it is a penalty kick.
14:27It's a second penalty kick.
14:29And here we've got this same old wearisome routine.
14:37Oh, now we have a deputation going to consult the linesman.
14:40Well, it was well two of the most clear-cut penalty kicks I think I've ever seen.
14:48And again being reduced to the level of a farce.
15:03And I think the referee has at long last decided that strong action is taken.
15:07No, he's just going to let the penalty kick be taken.
15:10Here it comes.
15:12And no doubt about that one at all.
15:16This time practice making perfect.
15:18Murdoch does make it 3-0 for Celtic.
15:26There we go.
15:32And a lot of people get good because deathing.
15:40There is no doubt about the group outside.
15:40What do you think?
15:40What do you think?
15:41You should have done with the group outside,
15:42And here's the Channel and people like that.
15:42We should have done with that.
15:43Now I am done.
15:44I am done with that one.
15:49I will have done with that.
15:51And the referee for this big European occasion here at Parkhead
15:55is Robert Schart from Antwerp, Belgium.
15:58The Celtic side is the one which played
16:01and won by two goals to one in Budapest.
16:04Quickly, it is Williams, McGrain and Brogan,
16:06Marduk, McNeil and Conley,
16:08Hood, Hay, Dalgleish, McCary and Lennox,
16:10and Jimmy Johnson is one of the substitutes on the bench.
16:16So it's the Ushpest Dozer side to kick off.
16:21The Ushpest side is Szentmihalyi, Kapošta, Mora,
16:24Goaz, Dunaj, Horvath, Fajikas, Zambo, Beni, Dunaj and Toth.
16:33David Hay.
16:36Ushpest Dozer will set themselves out probably 4-2-4.
16:44They have a tremendous job on their hands here,
16:47but Celtic will play it extremely cautiously.
16:49They have no intention whatever of throwing away
16:52the advantage they gain so splendidly in Budapest.
16:56Conley.
17:13Number three taking the kick is Mora, the 22-year-old,
17:16center-off and stopper.
17:23Kick to be taken again.
17:25The ball hadn't gone outside the penalty area.
17:33Watch out for both number 10, Dunaj,
17:36and Beni, who averaged a goal a game in Hungary in 16 matches for Ushpest there.
17:43That's McGrain.
17:45Very quickly giving Evan Williams a feel of the ball,
17:48which is not a bad thing to do on a very nerve-tingling occasion like this.
17:54Conley.
17:58Headed inside by Hay.
18:01Number five is Dunaj.
18:03There's two Dunajs in the side.
18:04One number five, the other number 10.
18:07They're not related in any way.
18:10That's Hood.
18:16Number four, Tripp.
18:19The offender was McCarrie.
18:27The referee, by the way, just a point of interest, speaks English fairly well too.
18:34That's Dunaj.
18:35Number five, Beni.
18:38Beni, 38 times cap for Hungary.
18:42McCarrie.
18:47Touch by Hood.
18:49Brogan down the line to Dalglish.
18:51Dalglish was offside.
18:57Number seven, Fazikas.
19:00Back to Koposta.
19:04Number six, Horvath.
19:11Horvath clearing it.
19:13Beni was offside.
19:24Zambo to the midfield man, Dunaj.
19:29Kaposta.
19:30Look at the clear run that Fazikas had there.
19:50I didn't see you.
19:54Have to do that.
19:56You got to go.
20:00You got to go.
20:01You got to go.
20:03Hood.
20:07Joas.
20:08The worrying Makary was right behind him,
20:10but he got out of that very cleverly.
20:13Fazekas.
20:15That's Zambo, number eight.
20:20Well, there you're an example of the speed of the Hungarians
20:23on the break.
20:31Dunaj, number five.
20:33Foul throw.
20:44So, Magritte to take it for Celtic.
20:48Connolly.
20:58Dalgleish.
21:05That's Brogan.
21:10Lennox.
21:11Lennox.
21:12All but two of the outfield men are in or near the Hungarian penalty area.
21:19Lennox.
21:21That was number four, Joas, who's going everywhere with Makary.
21:26Kicking the ball wildly out, considering a corner.
21:32While Celtic have certainly put plenty of pressure on the Ushpest defense.
21:48Kick to be taken again.
21:50Kick to be taken again.
22:02A foul there, off the ball on Makary.
22:06He was completely flattened, but the referee had his back to it.
22:10As soon as the kick was taken, Makary was flattened.
22:16That's Fazekas.
22:24Half-time.
22:26Celtic down one goal to nil, but the aggregate stands at 2-0.
22:37And Dalgleish will kick off for Celtic in the second half.
22:42That's Hood.
22:45Joas.
22:47Kicking it out for a corner in the first few seconds of the second half.
22:51And while a goal would be delightful for Celtic,
22:55the more important thing is to prevent Ushpest Doza from getting a second.
22:59Because, of course, Celtic at the moment are qualifying for the semi-finals.
23:06If the score stays as it is at the moment, 2-2 on the aggregate.
23:12That's Makary.
23:26Goaz headed by McNeil, then Hood.
23:30Korak's Kaposta, number two.
23:34Hood is Dunai, the midfield man.
23:40Kneel to Williams.
23:48Celtic are simply controlling the play,
23:50but this doesn't mean that they're necessarily safe.
24:07Kneel.
24:10Dalgleish, but that header goes straight to Joas.
24:13Zambo, Gorax.
24:16Dunai.
24:18Kaposta.
24:22Fassikas was looking for that, but Haye broke the move up.
24:26Lennox.
24:28Hood.
24:31Joas, a long one, back to Szentmihalyi.
24:44Dunai.
24:48Horvath.
24:52Zambo.
24:54McGrane heading the ball firmly out the throat of the Hungarians.
25:04The situation here at Parkhead in the second leg of the European Cup quarter-final tie is that Celtic are
25:11still down by a goal,
25:13but tied 2-0 on the aggregate, which would be good enough to send them to the semi-final.
25:24Haye.
25:28That's Fassikas, the outside right.
25:32Throw to Celtic.
25:41Hood.
25:49They're pushing you on there with Kaposta.
25:57Gorich kicking it out of play.
26:08They're pushing you on there with Kaposta.
26:15Down the line to Haye.
26:17Haye playing it against Gorich.
26:21Fassikas, the outside right.
26:24Kept in play.
26:26Celtic in possession.
26:29Jimmy Johnston.
26:31McGrane.
26:34McCarrie trying to pull it down.
26:54Gorich picked up gratefully by Lennox to Johnston.
26:58He had the roar of anticipation when Johnston goes on the ball.
27:01Tripped by Gorich.
27:11Connolly to take this.
27:16McNeil coming up behind him.
27:23Fassikas, the outside right.
27:25Haye tight on him.
27:27Finalised for pushing.
27:29Pushing.
27:32That's Horvath.
27:39Neil quickly back to Williams because Dunai, the antel Dunai who scored the goal, was right behind him.
27:47Connolly.
27:51McCarrie.
27:52McCarrie kicking it out of the third goal.
27:55What a goal.
27:56What a goal.
27:57What a goal.
27:58What a goal.
27:59What a goal.
28:00What a goal.
28:02What a goal.
28:03Sent me high.
28:0533 years old.
28:0631 times cap.
28:08Came out.
28:08Thought he had it covered.
28:10But McCarrie lobbed it right over him.
28:13What a spectacular goal.
28:16And what a situation here at Parkhead.
28:24Celtic 1-1.
28:25Ujpest 1-1.
28:29Celtic 3-2 ahead on the aggregate.
28:313-2 ahead on the aggregate.
28:33And who would dare to say after this white-hot excitement we've had here that the Celts don't deserve this
28:42superb lead.
28:5020th minute of the second half and Celtic even the score here but going to a 3-2 lead on
28:59the aggregate.
29:05The noise here is almost deafening.
29:09McNeil.
29:13Come on, Doug.
29:15Come on, Doug.
29:17Well, it's true.
29:21Well, here's a situation because number four has already been cautioned.
29:27In the first half, I'm quite certain the referee had cautioned number four, which means that he should now be
29:33ordered off.
29:37Well, that's a remarkable situation.
29:39I'm quite sure that the UEFA observer, who comes from Italy, will have something to say about that in his
29:45report of the match.
29:49Because in the first half, he definitely showed his card to number four for a foul and he's just done
29:54it a second time.
30:03So, a free kick to Celtic and this really boiling over situation, which is so crammed with excitement, it's almost
30:11unbelievable.
30:12Mar duf!
30:13Bravo!
30:14Bravo!
30:14Bravo!
30:16Bravo!
30:17Bravo!
30:18Bravo!
30:19Bravo!
30:20Bravo!
30:21Bravo!
30:23Bravo!
30:24Bravo!
30:24And this the ح stench!
30:39Bravo!
30:41SS summon something trees, love, structure and just change your circle.
